Agrivoltaics can help lettuce survive extreme heat

A research group from Canada’s Western University has investigated the performance of organic romaine lettuce, a heat-sensitive crop, under a broad range of agrivoltaic conditions. The test was conducted in London, Ontario, in the summer of 2025, during which 18 days had temperatures over 30 C. “Our study explores how agrivoltaic systems can be tailored to optimize

How to avoid ‘long tail’ effects in large-scale PV plants

A group of researchers from University of New South Wales (UNSW) studied the “long tail” phenomenon in large-scale photovoltaic plants and found that about 20% of the solar modules used on the field degrade much faster than expected. The “long tail” occurs when a significant number of modules in the same facility underperform relative to expectations, creating
